“Great players make great plays, and he’s great. He made us look silly.

“This is a game of blocking and tackling and we didn’t tackle. He’d juke us, we’d miss.

“He’s just a great player.”

Covey, who is said to run speedy a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, had runs of 15, two of 20, 26, 27 and 92 yards. His final total would have been better, but Ximeno Monteagudo trapped him on a scramble for an 18-yard loss.

“He’s one of the most-elusive guys we’ve ever played,” said Mission Hills receiver/DB Dechaun Holiday. “Really, he’s one of the best guys we’ve played.”

Holiday, who is being recruited as a cornerback by most big-name colleges, had a big day on offense, too. He caught six passes for 117 yards and a 65-yard TD pass from Dakota Miller.

“I like being involved in the offense,” Holiday said. “It’s one way I hope to help the team. We’re young, and we’ll get better as a team.”

Holmes caught six passes for 82 yards, including a scoring strike from Miller.

The Grizzlies threw for 275 yards with Miller completing 14 of 21 of 255 yards and freshman Jack Tuttle going 3 of 6 for 20 yards.

Mission Hills rushed 22 times for just 23 yards.

Grizzlies quarterbacks were sacked seven times, including two each by Gabe Reid and Scott Foley. BYU-bound Devin Kaufusi also had a sack.

“At times we were good, but our inconsistency got to us,” Hauser said. “The first game is out of our system now, so no more excuses.

“Dechaun and Martrel played really well, so we’ll rally behind them.

“Deep down this stings. We wanted to do well for our state. We wanted to represent San Diego.”
